Crypto merchant bank and trading firm Galaxy Digital’s chief, Michael Novogratz, noted multiple market theories for the selloff: investors shifting to prediction markets and other high-risk bets, broad profit-taking after a red-hot bull run, and no clear single catalyst. Here are the mainstream takes on the downturn: - **New trends diverting capital**: Prediction markets, gold, silver, AI, and meme stocks have lately competed for traders’ attention, siphoning focus from crypto. Bitcoin was once the go-to asymmetric bet; now there are AI, prediction markets, and other areas to speculate in. - **ETF/derivative impact**: Wall Street is rushing to cash in on crypto’s popularity with Bitcoin ETFs, tokenized products, and derivatives. Their surge doesn’t cha

VanEck Analyst: This Round of Bitcoin Plunge Had No Single Catalyst, Predicting Market Bottom Will Be More Challenging

February 7 — Matthew Sigel, VanEck’s Director of Digital Assets Research, noted that unlike past steep Bitcoin price drops with clear triggers, this latest sell-off lacks a single catalyst. That has made it harder to call a market bottom—but could also set the stage for a clearer recovery. Factors driving Bitcoin’s drop to $60k on Thursday include: leverage unwinding, miners forced to offload, fading AI hype, rising quantum computing concerns, and the psychological weight of Bitcoin’s unofficial four-year cycle. **Massive Deleveraging** Futures open interest hit a $90 billion peak in early October but has since plunged from ~$61 billion a week ago to ~$49 billion—meaning the market has unwound over 45% of its peak leverage. **Fading AI Hype** Investors now question whether firms like OpenAI and cloud providers can turn massive infrastructure spending into profits. With ROI on hundreds of billions in infrastructure uncertain and commercialization paths murky, this skepticis
